Dear Cycles & More…

185 comments


… you suck great, big, sweaty donkey testicles.

Your selection is sparse, your prices unreasonable, and your service department is so glacially slow and customer-unfriendly that one wonders if your mechanics and counter help aren’t moonlighting from the DMV.

I am at a loss to explain why anyone owning a Suzuki or Kawasaki motorcyle in southwest Louisiana would bring it to your festering scab of a dealership for service or repair. My only guess is that every bike in that weeks-long queue in your shop belongs to a first-time customer who didn’t know any better.

Well, this one knows better now. I will not darken your door again, and it is my sincere hope that every single time someone Googles the name of your pathetic little excuse for a motorcycle dealership, that this post comes up as the #1 hit.

For those of you who wonder how many ways a company can alienate a customer, let’s run down Cycles & More’s list of offenses:

  • Requires customers to schedule appointments for service or repair two weeks in advance.
  • Upon receipt of the bike needing repair, informs the customer that the minimum shop turnaround time is 5-7 business days. This is for replacing a stock rear tire, a turn signal relay, and full fluids and brake service, folks. It takes ‘em a week.
  • Upon inquiry by customer if his bike is ready, informs said customer that not only is his bike not ready, they haven’t even looked at it. Nor have they ordered the parts they know they will need. And oh, by the way, it’ll take another 5-7 days.
  • After nearly three weeks gathering dust behind the bikes of yet more dissatisfied customers, inform the bike owner that they can’t really tell him when they’ll get around to it.
  • Offers neither apology nor explanation for their total lack of regard for good customer service.

What you have failed to do in three weeks, a pair of semi-literate high school shop students could have done in four days.

When your dealership folds – and it surely will, the way you’re going – I hope I see all of you knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, monosynaptic, apathetic fucktard wastes of protoplasm working the counter at Mickey D’s.

Of course, then it might take a friggin’ week to get my burger and fries.

    I am so glad to see that I am not the only one disgusted by gjerry3's hideous mutilation of the English language. gjerry3: There is this wonderful thing in America called public school, where anyone remotely resembling a humanoid can learn to spell, use proper contractions and even discover the difference between a colon and a semi-colon. (Those would be the things you use to make smiley faces when you type) Next time you try to take on someone like AD, have someone in possession of more than two brain cells do your typing for you.

    Well dang. I don't own a bike. But I do know that if I ever acquire one, and breakdown in LA, I'd be better off hiring a U-Haul to trailer it to the next state, than to take it to Cycles & More. (No doubt it would be cheaper AND more timely.)gjerry3 – Thanks. You have successfully demonstrated AD was correct in assessing about your quality of "service".

    Still #1 on Google! I had no idea Cycles & More in Lake Charles, LA was the worst cycle shop in all of Louisiana! I dealt with one in North Central, LA that charged me $110 to render an early 4cyl. Goldwing I road to the shop un-ridable and I had to TRUCK it home!Captcha: coderses – a whole bunch of coders.

    Nah, gjerry3 can't be sumdood (unless it's a masterful disguise). Sumdood is a criminal mastermind, the epitome of skill and cunning.gjerry3 is, well, gjerry3. My 5 year old types with better spelling and grammar (without benefit of spell-check).

    Sorry I'm late to this "Cycles and More" kerfuffle, but have you had any resolution to this "Cycles and More" story? Because I don't own a motorcycle, but if I did I sure wouldn't take it to "Cycles and More", nor any shop that apparently employs mouth breathing, knuckle dragging brainstems like the commenter who apparently works at "Cycles and More". So here's hoping that "Cycles and More" has an epiphany and begins providing quality service fitting of a shop with the name "Cycles and More".
